Giles Slade explains how disposability was a necessary condition for America's rejection of tradition and our acceptance of change and impermanence. This book gives us a detailed and harrowing picture of how, by choosing to support ever-shorter product lives, we may well be shortening the future of our way of life as well. 606 $aProduct obsolescence -- United States 606 $aTechnological innovations -- United States 606 $aEngineering & Applied Sciences$2HILCC 606 $aTechnology - General$2HILCC 615 4$aProduct obsolescence -- United States. 615 4$aTechnological innovations -- United States. 615 7$aEngineering & Applied Sciences 615 7$aTechnology - General 676 $a609.73 686 $aZG 9080$2rvk 700 $aSlade$b Giles$01556051 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910780761903321 996 $aMade to Break$93818446 997 $aUNINA
